There is an issue with posting certain formatted text that I have not been able to track down. If you paste your test as unformatted, it will post. You're probably copying from another site or from a complex text editor like Word? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkxx Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I have gotten the "Forbidden" at times if it had links in it. If I removed the links it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I got the 403 recently when I quoted Dave including the thread title. Then the site seemed to go down so I assumed that the 403 happened because the site was crashing...and hoped I wasn't the cause of the crash. Tried the next day, same 403, but the site didn't crash.

SwampNut Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 There are no signs of a system crash our general outage. No alarms, no logged system events. That 403 forbidden is ALWAYS due to formatted content. Totally duplicatable and fixable. I can make it happen, and then paste as unformatted and it's fine. Reported to the software vendor, not something I can fix.

SwampNut Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Also I have no idea if there's a way to paste unformatted for a typical user. I use a clipboard manager that does it. Or my programming editor which is obviously generic text only. I don't think there's anything on a computer by default that would do this. Not sure what to suggest. Except that the Copy 'Em clipboard manager is extremely valuable and important for me, saving a shitload of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an AI-generated scam site (just stealing ad revenue, not scamming you directly). DON'T PASTE IN FORMATTED TEXT. That's all. Fixed, done.

XXitanium Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Hmm, I tried to paste some if the content as formatted text and got that E403 error. I tried to say it was just a test but after hitting Save, got relegated to E403 hell. I was also taking screen shots to show what the prompts look like for paste as plain text look like .

Zero Knievel Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 FWIW, when I’ve pasted formatted text, I’m given the option to convert to plain text. I would think I chose that option in the Buy/Sell issue…maybe I forgot to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
